Hi all,
I'm fairly new to this list--I'm quite familiar with HTML, but I'm new to =
scripting and I'm struggling with a script I've downloaded. The script =
creates a navbar that pops up menus for each item on the mouseover even. =
If there are any HTML tags between the <body> tag and the 4 <script> tags =
used to create the navbar, it doesn't function properly. For instance, in =
IE, I can scroll through only the first couple of menu items before the =
pop-up menu disappears! Am I missing something obvious?=20

So I'm attempting to include the navbar at the top of the page. However, =
due to some differences in the way NN and IE display the navbar, I'd like =
to include a <div> tag to place the navbar in the top left corner of the =
window (for NN only). I'm using the code included below. The 4 JS scripts =
between the 2 scripts that add the <div> tags isn't recognized, but if I =
replace it with another other HTML code, I don't have any problems. Let me =
know if this doesn't make sense.=20

Ideas, anyone?=20

Thanks!
Angi
